Synopsis:
This film features the story of Marc Yu, a charming and passionate 7-year-old pianist who some say will be the next household name in classical music. How can one so young exhibit such mastery of two instruments? Marc’s story is the starting point for a foray deep into the developing brain. We explore the ‘critical windows’ for learning basic human skills such as language and find out that children need a rich and stimulating environment in order for their brains to thrive. And we ask whether talent is something a child is born with or whether a prodigy must acquire brilliance through experience. And finally we find out what happens to prodigies when they get older, leaving behind the charm and protection of childhood. As Marc grows into a mature musician – will his brilliant brain be able to keep up with him? My Brilliant Brain uses biographies of three brilliant brains as a springboard to explore the hidden potential in all our brains. Each one is a scientific phenomenon: a 12-year-old pianist whose written his first symphony before his first kiss; a female chess Grand Master who takes on all comers blindfolded and a man who’s memorized 8,000 books, yet has an IQ of 70. These stories fascinate us, even though they appear to reflect the shortcomings of our own brains. Yet by understanding these extraordinary brains, we will show how we may improve our ordinary brains and perhaps unlock the remarkable genius that lies dormant within all of us.
